SPECIFICATION.

To all whmnt't may concern:

Be it known that I, SYLVESTER W. BEACH, of Ypsilanti, in the county of VVashtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Whip-Socket Fasteners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference bein g'had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification. i

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a fastening for whip-sockets, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which Figure 1 is an edge view, and Fig. 2a front view of myinvention.

A represents a whip-socket, of any suitable construction, and E is'a part of the dash-board to which the whip-socket is to be attached. The whip-socket fastening consists in a metal strap, 01, secured in any suitable manner to the whip-socket, and one end of the same is bent and passed under the leather of the dash on the front side. This end bears against the metal frame of the dash-board. At the other side of the whip-socket a screw, 17, passes through acomet;shaped wash er, f, and through the dash-board on the other side of the frame and into the other end of the strap or piece d, the tail of the washer f bearing against the dash-frame and giving the necessary firmness.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The fastening for whip-sockets, consisting of the bent piece 01, passing under the leather on the front side, and the comet-shaped washer f, substantially as and for the purposes herein described. V

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aflix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
